Light as a feather. Lenovo's Tab S8 does not even weigh 300 grams but is quite a bargain. It offers a Full HD screen, an 8-megapixel camera, and front-facing speakers for 199 Euros (~$225). Discover whether Lenovo's tight calculation is also worthwhile for the customer in our review.

Lenovo Tab S8-50LC
Users highly recommend the Lenovo Tab S8 because of its high powered functionality and reasonable price tag. This tablet has an 8 inch screen with resolution of 1920 x 1200 and a rather high pixel density of 283 ppi. The display is a multitouch IPS LCD that supports up to 10 touch points. The screen reaction time is smooth and not delayed. Another pro is that it only weighs about 300 g and is only 8 mm thick. This is very light and portable for a tablet its class. It runs the latest Android 4.4 OS, also called the KitKat. The processor is an Intel Atom Z3745 quad core processor that can clock up to 1.3 GHz, 2 GB RAM and 16 GB internal storage. The storage capacity can be increased by up to 32 GB with a microSD. There are two cameras, a 1.6 MP front camera and a 8 MP rear camera. The 4.8 inch width of the tablet makes it extremely comfortable for one-handed. The only downside is that battery life is limited to about 7 hours with the non-removable battery, which may be inconvenient for users who need their tablets for an entire day outside. Overall, the high performance hardware in this gadget makes the short battery lifespan worthwhile.Specifications

Looks and feels alright in hand, nice screen, fast enough for everyday use, decent battery life, front facing speakers, fair price (if you can find it discounted). No oleophobic coating, the screen has a yellow tint, slow USB transfer speeds.

Comment
Lenovo: Lenovo ( "Le" as in the English word legend and "novo" (Latin) for new) was founded in 1984 as a Chinese computer trading company. From 2004, the company has been the largest laptop manufacturer in China and got the fourth largest manufacturer worldwide after the acquisition of IBM's PC division in 2005. In addition to desktops and notebooks, the company also produces monitors, projectors, servers, etc.
In 2011, Lenovo acquired the majority of Medion AG, a European computer hardware manufacturer. In 2014, Lenovo took over Motorola Mobility, which gave them a boost in the smartphone market.
From 2014 to 2016 Lenovo's market share in the global notebook market was 20-21%, ranking second behind HP. However, the distance decreased gradually. In the smartphone market, Lenovo did not belong to the Top 5 global manufacturers in 2016.

Intel Atom: The Intel Atom series is a 64-Bit (not every model supports 64bit) microprocessor for cheap and small notebooks (so called netbooks), MIDs, or UMPCs. The speciality of the new architecture is the "in order" execution (instead of the usual and faster "out of order" execution). Therefore, the transistor count of the Atom series is much lower and, thus, cheaper to produce. Furthermore, the power consumption is very low. The performance per Megahertz is therfore worse than the old Pentium 3M (1,2 GHz on par with a 1.6 GHz Atom).
Z3745: Soc with an integrated quad core Atom processor clocked at up to 1.86 GHz (Turbo), an Intel HD Graphics GPU and a dual channel LPDDR3-1067 memory controller.
